The Redford's Thanksgiving weekend
included the end of one long run by a recent popular movie (High
Society, with Bing Crosby,
Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra), and the start of another (Bus
Stop, with Marilyn Monroe). Second features for these films included
Walk the
Proud Land (Audie Murphy), and The
Burning Hills, with Tab Hunter and Natalie Wood ("Young America's
Favorites").

Two
days after Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected to his second term as president
of the United States, an Ann Arbor News ad for the Michigan's screening
of The Solid
Gold Cadillac (with Judy Holliday) read, "You Voted a Landslide
for this great comedy...so we're holding it over through Friday!"

Thanksgiving
Eve (November 21) brought the Detroit premieres of The
Ten Commandments at the Madison Theatre (Woodward at Grand Circus
Park), and Love
Me Tender, with Elvis Presley, at the Fox. Moviegoers also could
enjoy Giant
(which opened at the Michigan in Detroit on November 7) or Oklahoma!,
showing at the United Artists Theatre "At Popular Prices" with
no reserved seating.
